In spite of the temperature being 12.4C this Vanessa atlanta (Red Admiral butterfly) fluttered into view to rest and take advantage of the first period of Sunshine for several days.
Beautiful - I have seen so few Red Admirals this autumn. I did see a Brimstone last week fluttering on the patio among ivy leaves and I suspect the warmth of the sun had disturbed its hibernation.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
Oh for a bit of your warmth.
